It would be nice if the 7650 supported .swf (flash) files.

Then we could animate the background to our hearts contempt 😊

Funny you should say that...

They still haven't released anything though!

Filling your phone with flash files would take up a fair bit of space. But it would be nice to have the option. At least we can have screensavers, even if it does eat the battery.

Announced that one a bit prematurely didn't they? That was released in 2000.

Yeah 😊

just emailed them to try to get some info

Flash files are usually fairly small - you can you a hell of a lot in less than 10k - if stay off the alpha channel

I may be mistaken here, but does the Nokia 9210 Symbian phone support Flash? Do they say that it will be 7650 compatible or just for some symbian phones?

Have a quick look at this...

not exactly my idea of what I want on my phone but 19k!

Imagine what kind of stuff you could have!

The flash player would allow you to use swf's on any phone - don't think it would allow you to use them as your wallpaper - I'd think this would involve firmware upgrade type stuff - but you would be able to run Flash applications and view swf animations.

I thought they were fairly bulky (For a phone with 4mb) files.[/quote]

Thats why I mentioned the idea - as .swf files are very small 8)

If Macromedia decide to go ahead then perhaps they could work alongside a Symbian softfware company to make your idea a "reality" 😃
